Area of license

All radio stations are licensed to a particular city or town. In order to keep the station’s license, the federal government, through the Federal Communications Commission, requires the station to "operate in the public interest" and to be responsive to the needs of the community of license. We are contracted to rent the use of KBPS-AM airtime, and we are legally responsible to them to meet this requirement. KBPS-AM is a 1000-watt, class D station with a 200-foot tower located near Lloyd Center. The signal reaches over a twenty-mile radius.
